This is so true, and so frustrating and disappointing - but yet, still miles better than the Tories

I like(d) him a lot but he came across as under-prepared for the interview and economically weak on basic questions. I hope he ups his game, he's not going to be able to get away with winging it on his charm.

... and in terms of agreeing with you, let's wait for Chelsea on Wednesday, there's a good chance I'll be back demanding his head come full time.

12 likes now - the best solution for #lufc is for Farke to learn and improve, far less risky than changing to an unknown quantity. However, he's on thin ice, and Wednesday will tell whether it was a flash in the pan or genuine progress

He's earned a second chance, as you say, let's see

Well yes, we could be back to square one on Wednesday

Maybe he didn't want to, but felt he had to throw the dice in desperation and maybe he learnt something from that - I guess we shall see on Wednesday.

That is the concern - is this him genuinely learning and improving, taking more of a risk and trying something different, or will he revert to type and we go back to being not much more than the sum of our parts?

Yes, the problem isn't losing at the Etihad after a decent (second-half) performance, it's all the other games we should have got something out of when Farke looked one-dimensional and formulaic - perhaps there's hope yet! #lufc

I'm no expert, but I think we only get points if we draw or win.

Good second-half performance, and a result far better than most of us expected #lufc

Plus no actual points ... however, it was a good second-half performance based on an astute tactical switch, so there is hope

VERY early on #lufc

Anyone got Stuart Dallas's phone number?

Yes, I am usually an optimist but today that optimism is feeling increasingly fake

I'm usually an optimist, but I have a feeling that that optimism will be hit for six very early on and they'll score within the first few minutes #lufc

Other regions could do the same to help save smaller leagues dominated by a small number of big teams - imagine how much better the Spanish league would be with Benfica, Sporting and Porto, or how much more interesting a Benelux league would be than the current Belgian and Dutch leagues
